[jira] Commented: (AVRO-135) add compression to data files

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-135?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12772570#action_12772570 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-135:
-----------------------------------

Looks like there's also a Java version of FastLZ, and FastLZ may be added to Hadoop in HADOOP-6349.

FastLZ claims better decompression time than LZF, but the changelog for LZF also claims it's now faster than FastLZ:

It probably doesn't matter too much which one we choose.
